Parlor

"This petite and inviting cocktail den in historic Castleberry Hill is named for and fashioned after the room found in most 19th-century homes, where people gather following dinner for intimate conversation over drinks and light bites. Earlier in the evening, Parlor is quieter and less crowded, offering plenty of cozy spots in which to enjoy a cocktail with that special someone before moving on to your next destination." - Eater Staff

"Tucked between Walker and Peters streets in Castleberry Hill, this stylishly decorated cocktail den has become the spot in the neighborhood for good drinks, good vibes, and good music all while relaxing with friends. Try the Wake the Dead — a play on the classic Corpse Reviver #2 — or the Paisley Park made with gin, lavender and simple syrups, and a twist of lemon. Parlor also offers a small menu of dishes, including spring rolls and Cajun grilled salmon. Expect a playlist spanning several genres, from soul, R&B, and Afrobeats to hip-hop and house music." - Mike Jordan

"This cocktail lounge in Castleberry Hill is known for its classic cocktails leaning into spirits like mezcal, cognac, rum, and brandy and late-night DJs playing soul, R&B, Afrobeats, hip hop, and house music. Parlor also hosts Thursday night karaoke, from 8p.m. to 12 a.m." - Eater Staff

"The sexy yet comfortably appointed cocktail den Parlor is open in Castleberry Hill, Wednesday through Saturday evenings. Parlor is fashioned after the room found in most 19th-century homes, where people gathered following dinner to chat and sip digestifs. Cocktails skew classic and lean toward smooth base spirits like cognac, rum, and brandy." - Beth McKibben

"Though the cocktail bar has a larger space for live DJs and dancing, it also creates playlists to use on days and hours it doesn’t feature live music. The soundtracks usually span several genres, including soul, R&B, Afrobeats, hip-hop, and house music, with artists ranging from Tems and Prince to Michael Jackson and H.E.R. Parlor also taps some of its resident DJs, such as Sed the Saint and DJ Kemit & Salah Ananse, to help develop playlists for the cocktail bar. Come during the week, or before 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, for drinks and low-key vibes at the intimate cocktail den. Then, stay later for the live DJ set." - Kris Martins
